Grain-free Granola Recipe
This healthy grain-free granola recipe is one that I've been making non-stop on repeat recently. It's super crunchy and keeps well, so a great option to have on hand for a speedy breakfast, healthy snack or a crunchy addition to elevate meals. This recipe yields 6 servings (around 1/3 cup per serving).
Ingredients
- 45g unsalted hazelnuts
- 45g unsalted almonds
- 45g unsalted cashews
- 40g pumpkin seeds
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp flaxseed/linseed
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp tahini or nut butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan/350F.
- Mix everything together in a bowl making sure everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Spread out in an even layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Allow to cool completely.
- Once cooled, break up chunks an transfer them into an air-tight jar/container.
- Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze it in a sealed freezer bag for up to 3 months.
Notes
You can use any mixture of nuts and seeds.
You can use nut butter instead of tahini or even regular butter/coconut oil.
Other liquid sweeteners will also work instead of maple syrup. Things like honey, rice syrup, agave, etc.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
- With milk and berries.
- With yoghurt and fruit (pick a higher protein yoghurt for a more rounded meal/snack).
- Sprinkled on smoothie bowls/overnight oats/porridge for some crunch.
- Sprinkled on top of salads/roasted vegetables/avocado toast.
- On it's own as a crunchy snack.
